Digital Twin Model of Rhizophora apiculata Based on Salinity Factors

This study is based on the Attimis model of the canopy and the prop root morphology of the Rhizophora apiculata, delved into the substructures of canopy growth and complex root generation diagrams, and subsequently carried out L-system modeling. The growth process was aligned with the Logistics growth curve, and experimental data on the impact of salinity on Rhizophora apiculata growth were fitted with the parameters in the L-system productions. Ultimately, a digital twin model of Rhizophora apiculata based on salinity factors was developed. This research aims to uncover the mechanisms of how salinity changes affect Rhizophora apiculata growth, providing a scientific basis for the protection and management of mangroves.
